End of 2015
So today is the very last day of 2015. This year just went by so quickly. I feel like every year is to be honest lol. Anyways, I thought this year was a pretty good year. One thing I was finally able to do was to get into the Johnny's Entertainment fanclub for Hey! Say! JUMP. The reason I think it was a big step for me was because I finally have a chance to go to their concert. I have been a fan for 6-7 years now and I haven't been to their concert yet or any concert in general. There has been times here and there where I had the chance to go to one but I always end up hesitating or I know it's too late to get tickets. Another achievement was getting a new mic. I have been using the same mic for 5 years now. It's a good mic but I didn't like the software for the reverb. It just made the audio smaller and I just didn't like it. I'm still figuring out the new equipment I got and it can be frustrating but I'm trying lol. So those are some of my achievements. I hope 2015 was a good year for everyone and let's hope 2016 will be awesome!

Winter Break
It actually started on monday but oh well. It's finally winter break! This month has just been so hectic but at the same time I've been too lazy to log on to this account. Anyways, I don't think I'm doing a lot of things. It's just going to be a relaxing break and I'll be able to relax and just watch netflix.

December
I can't believe it's December already! This year seriously just went by so fast! So how have I been doing lately? Not so well to be honest. I've been having a tough time at school lately. It's not really the amount of homework I have. It's the people I guess. There's been some people kinda of annoying me and it's been stressful. But on the bright side, winter break is coming up and I'll have a break from school for a while which I'm glad.

Thanksgiving
So yesterday in the States, it was Thanksgiving. This year, I actually had a pretty decent Thanksgiving. It was honestly a lot better than last year when my family and I were planning to go to a Japanese restaurant but it was closed. I had a nice Thanksgiving dinner with my family and my mom's friends family. The turkey was actually decent lol.

Trip to Victoria, Canada Day:1
On July 24-27 2015, I went up to Victoria, Canada with my dad, grandma and grandpa. The first and last day were spent in the car and ferry so I'm just gonna write about the middle 2 days I was actually there.
First of all, I had to get up at 5am in the morning to ride the ferry. Oh god that sucked. The ferry wasn't very stable and it made my dad and I feel sick. After the hour or 2 long ferry ride, we got off and went straight to the city.
The first place we headed to was a castle called the Craigdarroch Castle. It was kind of boring to be honest. I'm not one of those people who likes those kinds of places.
After we went to the castle, I believe we went to downtown and had lunch. We ate at a Chinese restaurant. It wasn't very good in my opinion. Also my grandma and my dad were complaining about the food on the spot which I thought was very rude. I'm sure they thought that nobody would understand what they're saying just because they were speaking in Japanese but who knows?
After we had a not so satisfying meal, we just wandered around downtown until we could check-in to our hotel. Then we headed to the park which had a really nice garden.
So that is it for Day 1. All I did after this is have dinner and wander around more. I didn't do much that day since it was first day and we were all tired obviously.

The view was so pretty but it was really hard to get these pictures taken lol.

An awful day can turn into a good day
Yesterday wasn't the best day I had. My friends ended up annoying me online. They looked up old pictures of me and posted it on our group chat. I honestly can't stand them at times. They're just so annoying. Another thing that happened to me is that I got yelled at by my mom. She told me to clean more and study for my permit which I don't want to at all. But the good thing that day is that I was told pretty good things at my school's conference. I was surprised that I'm actually doing well in my classes. So that is it for this post. I finally got around starting my new cover so please look forward to that :)

Novemeber
It has been forever since I posted anything on this blog! So what have I been up to lately? Well, ever since marching band ended, it feels weird to have some free time. The days actually feel longer for some reason. But still, I have quite a bit of homework to do. At the same time, it's kind of nice to just relax and know that I have more time now. So I guess that's it for now. I'll try to update more since I have more time now.

October
Guys! It's already October! I know I'm a little late on this but still, it's surprising. Time seriously just goes by way too fast. Anyways, October is going to be a busy month for me. I have a bunch of school stuff and band in general. But after this month, the rest of the year will be a lot more relaxing. I will actually have more time to be home and have more time to myself. Also, Halloween is getting closer. I won't be doing anything for Halloween sadly :(.

The first 2 weeks of school
So, school started last Wednesday for me and I managed to survive technically 2 weeks of school. I was originally planning to write this about this a week ago but I was lazy and busy at the same time so I decided not to. First of all, it wasn't bad as I thought it would be. Luckily, I got some really cool teachers and some friends in some of my classes. Because of that, I'm off to a good start.
The only downsides is that I had AP Spanish which I had to drop because I couldn't understand what the teacher was saying at all since I'm not a fluent Spanish speaker. As much as I don't enjoy Spanish, I still want to learn it and try to be at least somewhat fluent. The other downside is that I was confused about my release form. Ever since the new principal took over, everything's been more stricter. So, apparently if you have a release during the middle of the day, you have to get it signed either by the Principal or the Vice Principal. My friends tried to get it signed but the Principal just took it away from them. Due to that, I didn't turn in my release form till today and it turned out I didn't have to get it signed and they'll do it for me.
Yes that was it! I know this post isn't very detailed but I am really tired so I can't really think right now.

My New Sheep Buddy :)
So yesterday, I went to Kinokuniya and bought a Myojo magazine and a sheep lol. At first, I was very hesitant to buy the sheep but it was so cute and I couldn't resist. I feel like it's been a while actually buying something because I've been trying to save up some money for a new camera or a mic. So it was kind of nice getting some new stuff. Also it's been a while to get a magazine. I don't have a subscription for Duet this year so I only bought 2 magazines this year.

September
I cannot believe it's already September! I honestly feel like summer break started just yesterday! So for this month, school is obviously gonna start. I am not looking forward to school at all. It's just awful enough to have to wake up around 6am just to get ready. Sometimes I wish school would just start around 8 or 9am. If it actually did, I wouldn't have to rush every morning or be tired as heck. Also I don't like my schedule this year but I'm too lazy to get it changed so yeah. I guess that's it for this post. I will try to have posts of my trip to Canada so please look forward to that :)

Amazing Love
So a week ago, I uploaded a new cover! This time, I decided to sing Amazing Love by Folder 5. For those who don't know them, they're the group that sung one of the theme songs for One Piece. I had a lot of pitch problems as always but I tried lol. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy!

Oh My Wish!
So this is from a week ago, but I uploaded a new reaction video! I'm actually surprised that I've gotten some good reviews despite my constant stuttering, but thanks for watching! I'm honestly not sure if I'll make anymore of else anytime soon since I want to focus more on covers. But I wasn't expecting these to have any likes because I tend to get tons of hate on my covers.

Taiki Bansei
So I finally decided to cover Taiki Bansei by ANGERME. It is one of my favorite Hello Project songs of 2015 and it always makes me feel better whenever I'm down. I know this isn't very good but I tried lol.

JUMPing Car
Finally I got my copy of JUMPing Car. I actually forgot to tell my grandma about it, so I told her the very last minute and she said she couldn't get it. So I had to ask my dad to buy it on Amazon. He forgot to give it to me when he came back from Japan and yesterday, I finally asked him if he had it. I was actually surprised that this album had pretty good songs on it. I heard a lot of the songs were kid-ish so I was surprised that they were pretty mature. I am planning to do a album review on my idol blog so please look forward to that.

Renuited Once Again
So last week, I went to Uwajimaya to buy a birthday present for a friend and I found another key chain of Nagisa! I actually lost this as soon as I put onto my backpack. I was so sad when I lost it and they didn't have it at the bookstore in Uwajimaya for the longest time and when I saw it last week, I just had to buy it.

More mangas!
Yesterday, my dad got back from Japan from a business trip and was able to get me a bunch of mangas. He told it was kind of challenging to get them though haha.
So onto the mangas, for some reason, I didn't have volume 34 for Yamato Nakeshiko Shichi Henge. I swear I had it but I don't know where it went. And for Assassination Classroom, I was waiting for this. I read all of the ones that were currently out and I've been reading other stuff but Assassination Classroom is just one my recent favorite mangas. Lastly, for Gintama, for some reason I didn't have these 2 volumes.
So that was it! Hope you guys enjoyed this post. And I will try to post more(maybe) So please look forward to that!

On Sunday, I went clothes shopping. I ended up buying 2 tops at Aeropostale and 2 socks at Forever 21. I'm starting to realize how clothes shopping isn't my thing haha. It's way too tiring and I felt so underdressed because everyone around me were extremely fashionable including a bunch of middle schoolers. Also clothes these days are just too revealing for me such as crop tops and that's just not my thing. Another thing is that it's really hard to find graphic shirts that aren't too short on the sleeves. I honestly wonder why clothes are getting more revealing. There should be a limit on how
much skin they show.

Reaction Videos
So lately, rather than making covers, I've been making reaction videos. One of the reasons I wanted to make them was because I wanted to do something different. I've been making covers for 5 years now and I realized that just syncing my recording to the music video doesn't really help much when it comes to other things that involve video editing. So in order to learn how to edit more, I decided to just start off with reaction videos. Another reason why is because I stutter like crazy. As you can see in my video, I just keep on stuttering. So that's another reason why I wanted to do this. Later on, I might start making haul videos, vlogs and all that but for now, I'm just gonna stick to this and singing.

July
I cannot believe that it's already July! Time really just flies by. I honestly feel like summer break just started yesterday but it's almost been 3 or 4 weeks. So lately I've been relaxing and pretty much doing nothing. June honestly wasn't a interesting month once summer break started. I did some interesting things but other than that, I just stayed home and did nothing. This month isn't going to be anything special either. But I will try to upload more. I actually uploaded a new video today. I decided to make a reaction video. I thought I should've said more but oh well.

Starry Heavens
So today, I have uploaded a new cover! This time, I decided to sing Starry Heavens by Day After Tomorrow. I actually recorded this song almost 5 years ago and I decided to re-do it because I realized how bad it was. I think I did better on this one though this song is still way too high for me.

Password is 0
After 2 months, I am finally back with a new cover! This time, I decided to cover Password is 0 by Morning Musume'14. I feel like I did fairly well on this cover. There weren't really parts that were hard for me to record. It did take me some time to finish it though because of school and all that. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy!

Summer Break!
Long time no see! Lately, I've just been so busy studying for finals that I haven't had the time to update this blog. I honestly felt like I studied too much because I haven't been feeling well for the past few days. Anyways, it's finally summer break(at least for me). For now, I'm planning to just chill and not do anything academic for a few days. Also, I am planning to finish off my new cover. My headphones broke so I'm currently using my old one which isn't the best but I'll try to finish it as best as I can.

A Quick Update
Hello! it's been a while since I've last updated this blog. That is because I've been busy with schoolwork. So many things have been going on such as my piano adjudication which I did fairly well on, and band stuff. Also I took the SBAC for math last week. That was not fun at all. And for those who don't live in the states, the SBAC is basically a standardized test that students have to take to graduate high school. Right now since it's memorial weekend, I've been chilling a lot and just being lazy. And to end this post, I've started working on a new cover! Yay! ^-^ I haven't been able to finish it since I haven't been feeling well but I'll try to finish it by the end of the month and get that uploaded.

5 years on YouTube
I don't how to start this, but I've been posting videos on YouTube for 5 years now. It went by so fast! I remember when I first started posting covers on YouTube. I was that 13 years old girl that has been watching covers and wanted to make my own. I didn't know anything about video or audio editing. I just took out my camera and sang. I was excited to get tons of good reviews and was ready to be praised. I wanted to be successful and have tons of subscribers. But I've been hit with reality. I wasn't one of those people who got tons of subscribers or got good comments and tons of likes. In fact, I've got bashed with haters. I was able to get a lot of views but they weren't for a good reason.
During my first year of YouTube, I was pretty much told to die, disappear, and I was told that I can't sing and I sounded like crap which was sort of true. During that time, I was depressed like heck. I told my close friends and family about it and they just told me to ignore and that I was a good singer(liar!). Since most of the viewers were Japanese, I got tons of hate from them and it just made me hate Japanese people. To be honest back then, I had no idea what I was doing wrong. It took me forever to realize that I was singing the wrong types of songs. The type of songs that I was singing were more mainstream J-pop which the fans are more aggressive and probably don't have a life. So I ended up transitioning from mainstream j-pop to idol music. Of course it made me lose a lot of views but I was more happy because I didn't get as much hate and I enjoyed listening to idols especially Hello Project.
Now let's move on to the subscriber and views. Like I said, getting a lot of views didn't mean I was getting more subscribers. It actually took me 2 years just to get 100 subscribers on my first channel. When I was reached 100, I was just so happy. Normally a lot of people can reach that many amount of subscribers in around a few months to a year so I was one of the slower people. But after half a year I reached 100 subscribers, I decided to move channels. I got 2 covers deleted which led me to have 2 strikes. I figured that it's more safer to move channels. Also, I just wanted to have a new start. I didn't want to delete my covers that pretty much got all the hate comments because I'm one of those people who can't throw things away. Anyways, I had a pretty good start on my 2nd channel. But as time went by, I didn't get as much views as I started with or any comments or likes. Again, I started getting more dislikes. It made me wonder why again. And I still don't know why. I started to come up with excuses about how I've "improved" and such. It just made me mad that I get bashed for something that I spend weeks on just to perfect as much as I can. It was understandable how I got hate comments in my earlier videos because I was lazy about them and I sung songs I learned just that day. But this is one thing I know now, it's the internet. It doesn't matter if you're good singer or not. You get bashed either way.
Lastly, I want to talk about the feeling of having to rush. Obviously, I've been making covers on YouTube for 5 years now. And on my current channel, I only have 34 subscribers. Looking at other YouTubers channels and those who I've talked to before, they have more subscribers than I do. Also more and more newer people who are covering anime/j-pop are coming by and rapidly getting subscribers. It made me think that I have to get more subscribers now or else as soon as I know it, it's going to be 10 years without many views or subscribers. It also just makes me think that I have to get more recognized just because I've been doing this for a long time. I know making these types of videos won't get you to be one of the top YouTubers; what I mean is that I just want at least 5 likes and all that. Having even just that makes me really happy because they're not 5 dislikes. Also there were times that I was jealous of the newer people having more subscribers, views and comments. My thoughts were "why isn't that me?" "I'm not that bad, am I?"
In conclusion, I've had a lot of ups and downs on YouTube. I wanted to talk so much more such as making friends and being in groupdubs. I honestly don't feel like I explained my experience very well. But to end this post, I did not write this so everyone will feel bad for me or to be thought as a complainer. I wrote this because I wanted to share my experience and for those who want to start their own channel to know that it's hard to get to the top and to be prepared for the haters out there. For anyone who actually read this, thank you so much because if I didn't write this, I would not even bother to look at it.

My Birthday Haul 2015!
So 2 weeks ago was my birthday! It feels so weird because it just went by so quick. Anyways, this year I turned 18(I still feel like a little kid lol). So I wanted to show what I got. It's not much to be honest but I'm satisfied with the things I got because it's better than nothing and my friends and my family really thought of what to get me.
The first things that I will show you guys are the presents I got from my friends.
I cannot thank them enough for getting me some of the cutest presents! And I just love the Hello Kitty plushie. It's actually a lot bigger than it is on the picture. Also, since I'm a slow eater plus my back teeth has been hurting, I've been planning to just share some of the candy.
Next are the presents I got from my family members.
From my mom, I got a folder and key chain of Nagisa from Assassination Classrom. I just love Nagisa so much! He is my favorite character in the anime/manga and I really like how he's always clam and observant. Anyways, I actually showed this to my mom when we went to Kinokuniya and she decided to buy them as my birthday present.
From my dad, he got me the Koro-sensei pencil case and the newest Morning Musume'15 single.
I just thought this pencil case was so cute! The only thing I don't like about it is that it's very small so it's hard to fit pretty much anything. And onto to the CD, I've been so excited to get this. I have waited literally FOREVER to have it. I honestly think this single is better than TIKI BUN and Toki wo koe sora wo koe. Also I really like the poster it came with. I realized that I have not taken a picture and I'm too lazy to do so lol.
Those are the things I got for my birthday! Like I said in the beginning of this post, it's not much but I'm satisfied with it. Also this post was way overdue but at least I didn't post this a month after my birthday like I did last year.

Mystery Night
This time I decided to cover Mystery Night by S/mileage(Currently ANGERME). I feel like it's been forever since I recorded a cover. I just been busy with things and lazy at the same time and I keep on telling myself to make more covers but I want to learn the songs I want to sing perfectly so that's one of the reasons why I don't upload as much as I used to. So onto the song, I love this song! I can't stand the dance or the music video but this is such a strong song. I noticed how this song matched my voice so I didn't really have a hard time recording it. I'm not satisfied with the last part but I tried lol.

Some of my recent purchases!
Hello! I feel like I haven't updated this blog in forever! I've been so busy lately with homework but today, I would like to show what I got on my trip to California and my HSJ Calendar.
So at Six Flags, I got the T-shirt and necklace that is on the top of the shirt. I just love the shirt! When I first saw it, I knew that I just had to get it. At Disneyland, I got a necklace and an anklet. I first thought the anklet was a necklace and it sadly, it was too small for my leg :(
I was too lazy to take a picture of the calendar so I just took a picture of the box. This one compared to the one last year is more simple. It only features a photobook and a small calendar. I honestly liked the one from last year more because it had so many things in it and it had this stand where you could just put your calendar on.
So those are some of the things that I got lately(well somewhat). And to my brother who might be reading this, please leave my friends and I ALONE. They have been telling me that you've been liking their facebook statuses and been trying to add them on Snapchat. You say that they are weird, but to be honest, you're the weird one. Also, I find it creepy that you have found this blog and probably even know my current YouTube account.
So at Six Flags, I got the T-shirt and necklace that is on the top of the shirt. I just love the shirt! When I first saw it, I knew that I just had to get it. At Disneyland, I got a necklace and an anklet. I first thought the anklet was a necklace and it sadly, it was too small for my leg :(
I was too lazy to take a picture of the calendar so I just took a picture of the box. This one compared to the one last year is more simple. It only features a photobook and a small calendar. I honestly liked the one from last year more because it had so many things in it and it had this stand where you could just put your calendar on.
So those are some of the things that I got lately(well somewhat). And to my brother who might be reading this, please leave my friends and I ALONE. They have been telling me that you've been liking their facebook statuses and been trying to add them on Snapchat. You say that they are weird, but to be honest, you're the weird one.

April
I cannot believe that it's April already! Time really just flies by. So what have I been up to lately? Well, last month was really hectic for me. I had two band competitions and a bunch of rehearsals for it along with rehearsals for the Disneyland trip. After that, right after when school was out for spring break, I left for California. I will talk about my trip in a different post since it has a lot of things to to it. When I came back from California, I was very tired and didn't do anything pretty much. Also I will try to record a cover this month but who knows? I might not. So that was my crappy update. I am planning to post more this month since I will probably have more free time.

March
I can't believe it's already March! This year is going by so fast! Anyways, so far this month has been a very busy month for me. I've had a lot of things going on in school and I'm going down to California next week for a band trip. I'm kind of excited about it. I get to be with my friends and go to Disneyland and Six Flags. I was first really excited to go to Disneyland but then I realized that I'm not much of a person that likes rides. But I'm still looking forward to it because it's my first time going there with my friends so I'm sure it's going to be fun.

Real
After almost a month, I finally uploaded a new cover! This time I decided to sing Real by Rev.from DVL. It's been one of the songs that I just love lately and I really wanted to cover this. It's not the best to be honest but I tried.

My experience at the Johnny's Shop
So continuing with my idol shop posts, today's post will be about going to the Johnny's shop. It was when I was 12, the time when I was just starting off as a Hey! Say! JUMP fan. I learned that there was a Johnny's Shop and since I was going to Japan, why not if I go there? I was imagining that there would be posters, uchiwas, goods, just basically things that they would sell at a concert. It was not what I imagined at all. The store was small(the one I went to was Osaka), despite being a school day, it was very crowded, and they mainly sold pictures. I really wanted to buy the type of goods that you could get at a concert so I was a little disappointed. So I looked for pictures and it was hard for me to choose the ones that I really wanted. I'm very picky with pictures so that's the reason why. So I chose out a few and when I was lining up and it was my turn to pay, I didn't know what register I was called upon so I was panicking. Luckily, my aunt was there so she told me where to go. That was kind of embarrassing. To end this post, I was very disappointed with the store. I was able to get my pictures pretty fast unlike the H!P store but it just doesn't have a variety of things. Although it may have changed because I haven't been there for almost 6 years but I guess it might just be better to go to an unofficial one or a used idol shop.

The time when I almost never wanted to go back to the Hello Project Store
So when I went to Japan over a year ago, I was lucky to be able to stay at Tokyo for a day and since we weren't in a rush or anything to go to Osaka, we decided to go to Akihabara. I was thinking of Akihabara to be this otaku land but it's pretty normal. At the same time, we didn't look at a lot of the stores there.
Anyways, I was able to go to the Hello Project Store there. It was like this huge dream of mine to go to the H!P store for a few years. And I finally got to go. But since I was with my very impatient brother, I didn't have the most nicest time there. As soon as I got there, I kind of figured that something bad might happen. Just from the beginning, I was having a hard time finding the form where you write the numbers of the pictures. Also I didn't realize that there was a form in English which I regret not taking that instead. Because I was with people, I felt the need to pick the pictures I want in 5 minutes. So I tried to pick them out as fast as I can. Then when I chose my pictures and lined up to pay, I was told by the cashier that there was a error and to check to see if the picture wasn't sold out or anything. So I did and yes indeed it was sold out. A lot of things were sold out when I went there. But I was sure that I checked to see if things were sold out but I guess I didn't check enough. So I had to line up again, and it was pretty awful. The guys in front of me had probably over $100 worth of pictures and everything so it took forever for the cashiers to type the numbers and give them a receipt. It took probably over an half an hour just for that, and after I paid, I had to wait for an hour to just get 4 photos. I was pretty dang frustrated about it. Also I only bought 4 photos but the total price was 3,000 yen. I guess it was because I bought some pictures that weren't out till the next day or something but I never picked it up and I honestly didn't care because I just wanted to leave. A interesting thing I realized there was that I was the only girl shopping at the H!P store. It was awkward. So I don't want anyone to think the store is crappy. This is just my personal experience and I never really had good experiences at Idol shops(I wonder why I still want to go to them). The store itself was pretty big and it had so many things so if anyone is going there, buy things to your hearts content and don't be cheap like me. Also make sure to triple check if a good is sold out. You will know if there's a thing on the picture. I will continue with my idol shop experience by talking about the Johnny's store and how crowded it was.

The Amount of Ants that are in my room
This actually happened a few days ago and I already mentioned it on my last post but, ants invaded my room. I don't see a lot of them anymore although a bunch of them were on the floor a few days ago. Anyways since I don't want this post to be almost the same thing as the last one, I will write about what I've been watching on YouTube lately. Lately, I've been watching room tour videos. It gives me ideas on what other people's rooms look like and I feel like compared to theirs, my room isn't nice enough. But as long as it's comfy, it doesn't matter right? Onto my point, I get influenced pretty easily on videos like this so it makes me want to do my own room tour video.
Also I've been watching haul videos/johnny's fangirl vids. Watching the Johnny's fangirl videos, it makes me feel weird and that I'm not a big enough fan. Also it's different from what I usually watch which has a lot of editing and they spend a lot of time making it. The fangirl vids, they don't have any editing and I'm sure they upload it as soon as they were done filming. I'm not saying that everyone should edit their videos to make it perfect, it's just been a while since I've seen a video that is just fresh and haven't been touched. Another thing I want to point out is that it's different for me to see Japanese fans making videos on their favorite Johnny's groups. They seem so typical to me and they're so lucky to be able to go to the Johnny's shop. I've only been there once a really long time ago
and honestly don't want to go there again unless they move into a bigger store(well the one in Osaka, don't know about the other places). But I recommend the Hello Project store because they have not just pictures but goods, posters etc. To wrap this up even though I don't think I said what I really wanted to say but I can't really explain it, Japanese fans are lucky and they're more girly and royal to their idols more than myself. Also I should write about my experience about going to the Hello Project store next and how it almost made me never want to go there ever again(although I want to because I didn't buy ENOUGH things). I know, I'm just weird like that.

Post Valentines Day
Yesterday as everyone knows, was Valentines Day. I didn't do anything special to be honest. I just had Five Guys for lunch and I felt like I got a cold. Today, I feel sort of better but it probably wasn't a good idea to clean my room cause it involved a lot of dust and I think I might be allergic to dust. Anyways, after I finishing one of my shelves, ants started to show up. There's been a few ants here and there for a while but for some reason, more ants to started appear. So my mom set up this thing to kill it and it's a pretty interesting view right now. So yeah, this has been my boring weekend.

A Lazy Weekend
Lately, I've been running out of ideas of what to post on this blog so today I will talk about my boring weekend. So, my weekends are usually pretty chill. I really don't want to do anything even if I have homework. And today, I was able to catch on Kamen Rider Drive. I get behind pretty easily because if I wait for the episodes then I just don't feel like watching it anymore. Also, I watched BONJOUR Sweet Love Patisserie. It's only 5 minutes long but I feel like it's long enough and it's actually pretty interesting. So I guess that's it for this post. I'll try to post more even though they might be boring. And to completely wrap this up, I'm currently working on a cover. I'm trying my best to upload at least 2 covers a month. And no it's not a Valentine's Day cover. I just don't have the time to learn anything new by Valentine's Day.

Colorful Days
So yesterday, I uploaded a new cover! My goal this year is to upload at least 2 videos a month and I barely made it. So this time I decided to sing Colorful Days by LinQ. Those who don't know who LinQ is, they are a idol group from Kyushu. I think they're pretty talented for such a large group. On to my recording story, this song was a lot harder than I thought it would be. The pitch for this song was kind of low so I had problems with pitch. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy!

Finals week!
It's been a while since I've last updated. This month has been busy ever since winter break ended and school started. I had a audition for band which I failed pretty badly :(, and I have finals starting next week. To be honest, I am not ready for finals! But I have been studying somewhat. Also I am planning to upload a cover after finals since I am still kind of sick and I need to focus on studying.

My New Years Resolutions for 2015
I was going to post this yesterday but I was too tired so I'm just going to post it today. Here are my New Years resolutions.
1.Keep on working hard at school and getting decent grades. I felt like this school year I have a lot more motivation and I want to keep it up till I graduate.
2.To become a better clarinet and piano player. I do not like to practice at all. But I know that if I don't practice, I'm not going to get any better.
3.Make more videos. I keep on telling myself to learn more songs but I just can't perfect them. So this year, my goal is to make at least 2-3 per month while keeping up with my schoolwork and perfecting the songs that I want to cover.
4.Update my Idol Blog more. I'm not very confident about writing down my opinions but I will try to update it as much as possible.
So these are my New Years Resolution. They are pretty simple but I can't think of anything creative.
